Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: This is no longer available.

If you want some free binaca, you can get a coupon for one free product via snail mail by signing up on their site. You have to click on steps one and two before the signup form appears under step three and you’ll also have to confirm your email. The coupon should be good at all Walgreens and Wal-Marts but it might also work at additional stores.

On a related note, can anybody else think of binaca without simultaneously thinking of Jim Carrey talking with his butt in Ace Ventura? If so, kudos to you.

Wait, I’m posting about Fridays on a Monday? I must already want my week over…

Even still, Barnes & Noble is giving away selected eBooks for free every Friday. While I don’t recognize every single title, there are quite a few on there. The only real catch? You still need a credit card to access them, even if it isn’t charged, and it takes 60 minutes from when you “purchase” them for the books to “ship” and be available to read.

So combine this with iBooks from the app store and you’re set! Until next Friday rolls around and the store updates with more… See? I’ve given you a week to get ahead!

The latestest free Disney Movie Rewards code is L8N5VG3F6C and … wow. You have to hand it to Disney, there’s no way we’re guessing one of their codes. The only way I could correctly peg one would be if I was trying to kill a spider walking across my keyboard and even then as;lkdmf8jh.

Oh, sorry, that was just some dust floating by.

Plenty of reading material this week while I wear my smoking jacket t-shirt and snack on fish oil.

I’ve never heard of Elbert Hubbard, so when I saw this free Elbert Hubbard DVD offer, I did what came naturally: I Googled him.

Needless to say, it seems like he was a turn of the 20th century writer/philosopher. Ironically enough? He grew up down the road from where I live now, so maybe I’ll just have to learn more about him and visit his house.

It’d definitely be something to do as my summer ends!

EDIT: This is no longer available.

When I see this free Platinum ST Turn Back Time capsule sample, the only thing I can think of is Cher.

Its too early on a Saturday to have that song stuck on my head…

To celebrate National Ice Cream Day tomorrow, Dippin’ Dots is joining in on the fun. If you stop by a participating kiosk or a store tomorrow, July 18th, and you’re one of the first 100 to join their club? You get a free insulated mug. Not close to a store? Sign up online for the free mug tomorrow (early registrations or late registrations won’t get you the mug)…

Which begs the question from me: do you have to be one of the first 100 to sign up online? Lord knows if that’s the case, their site will crash faster than an ice cream cone melts in a fireplace…

I’ll never forget the first thing my father said to me on my 18th birthday. He gave me a firm handshake, looked me square in the eyes, and said, “enter in code GTGTENMONTHCODE and get 10 free Pampers Gifts to Grow points.” I still have no idea what it means and frankly, I’m beginning to think he was a little drunk.

If you’re already a member of Pampers’ site, then use this link to head straight to the log-in page. Otherwise, use the first link to sign up!

It looks like its once again time for Urban Outfitters to release another free mixtape. I’m starting to think that they release another one of these suckers whenever they change the music in their stores. Not that I shop their stores, but I know the retailer that I work at has just updated its music for back to school, so I can only assume that they did the same…

Even still, I only recognize a few of these artists, and the graphics on the page sort of scare me with its retro-90′s feel to the website. I think I’ve seen better Geocities sites back in the day…

So a few months back, Goob had a coupon for some bagels and shmear at Einstein Bagels. I guess the company had so much success that they redid the coupon and rereleased the coupon with an additional offer.

Now? You can do $2 for bagel, shmear, and coffee on Tuesdays, or a free bagel on Fridays from Einstein Bagels. And to one-up Goob once more? How about being able to reuse this coupon till July 30th!

Sorry that I missed it for this morning, but now? We’re ready to go for two more Fridays of freebies… Now if only I can find an Einstein’s on my way to St. Louis for next Tuesday and my early morning Fine Jewelry meeting…

Edit by Goob: There’s also a sister coupon for Noah’s Bagels as well. Ooooh yeah.
